Being a bassist myself, while I was compiling the Magazine compilation I was drawn to the great bass driven sound provided by the one & only Barry Adamson.
Barry Adamson is a modern renaissance man...bassist, drummer, composer, & writer as well as a photographer & filmmaker. Aside from being a founding member of the post-punk band Magazine & his prolific solo career he has performed with Pete Shelley, Visage, the Birthday Party, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, & the electro musicians Pan Sonic. In addition, Adamson has also remixed Grinderman, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Recoil, & Depeche Mode (the seven-minute opus "Useless [Escape From Wherever: Pts. 1 & 2]" remix in 1997). He also worked on the soundtrack for David Lynch's surrealistic crime film Lost Highway.
Here's a mix of Adamson at his best...
